Katherine McMillian who is a nine year old girl who lives in Raliegh North Carolina was at the right place at the right time eight days ago when she was a pool party that was hosted by the parents of Timothy Scofield showed compassion for the welfare of Timothy who was at the bottom of the swimming pool out cold. Katherine took action to leave her position at the shallow part of the pool to save Timothy who was at the bottom of the pool after Timothy who did not have on his life vest since his mom Frida forgot to give her son a life jacket since Tim does not how to swim. Katherine managed to grab Timothy by his left arm to get him to the surface where she and her friends who were at the pool party were able to get Timothy out of the pool into the side of the pool where the homeowner and the others adults used CPR to revive Timothy which took a while since Timothy on death's door until he came to his senses. Timothy was then taken by an ambulance to a local hospital where he spent the night in the Intensive Care Unit. The good news is that Timothy who was eight years old at the time of the incident did celebrate his ninth birthday on Tuesday. Tmothy is now having to learn to overcome his fear of being near swimming pools after his near death experience. Timothy's parents were going to have their son take swimming lessons earlier but die to the COVID-19 pandemic, those plans were postponed. Frida and her husband Ryan are grateful that Katherine did her part to save her son from drowning in a pool party. I am sure that Katherine will be rewarded by city officials with a life saving award in the near future as a thank you for her work of assisting her classmate from losing his life at a pool party.
